Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems to diagnose modular printing systems having two or more interchangeable modules. In addition, methods and systems are provided to generate instructions for configuring the interchangeable modules within the printing system to produce optimal results.
Claims20
A method for diagnosing a modular printing system having two or more:
- interchangeable modules, the method comprising:
- a) determining a fault associated with the printing system has occurred;
- b) a controller identifying a first potentially failed module causing the fault;
- c) the controller identifying a first normally operating module interchangeable with the potentially failed module;
- d) the controller generating instructions to swap the first potentially failed module with the first normally operating module;
- e) executing the instructions;
- and
- f) determining if the fault has been corrected subsequent to executing the instructions to swap the first potentially failed module with the first normally operating module.
